I can recommend "Room" by Emma Donoghue, which was, last time I checked, way in the lead for a load of prizes this year. It's kind of a brutal read though. I picked it up very much at random and knew nothing about it before I started reading it. It starts off strangely and at a certain point you realise what it's about. I had to put it down when I figured out what was going on- I felt as if i'd been punched in the gut.
That might not be the best way to recommend a book, but if you do decide to pick it up and read it at some point, I'm not sure if I'd say it was good idea to read some spoilers or not. Reading it cold with no expectations was pretty powerful stuff. It's not a cheerful book, but it is hopeful.

Room by Emma Donoghue...got it. Thanks for the suggestion.
Hate to bump the thread, but I what I want to post doesn't deserve to stand alone. I'm going bike shopping for a bike to be used on a campus. I hear Trek's are good, but idk.
Hmm...the 'Bike Shop' = Wal-mart, so I'll just get something that looks durable. Thanks though. Victor Sullivan, I'm offended you think you're old! Why, you're clearly not a day over 100!
Are you now one of those bike wankers who wears all retarded sponsered shit and refuses to take their clacky shoes off no matter how inappropriate the situation?
I go to the gym to justify my mockery of fat people.

No. I don't even have a helmet! Back to the good days, eh?
